safety of bbc1501 intravitreal injection in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (namd)

Conditions: Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Summary: this open-label study is being conducted to evaluate the initial safety and tolerability of bbc1501 ivt in patients with namd. the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 ascending doses of ivt bbc1501 in patients with namd. the secondary objective of this study is to exploratory of bbc1501 efficacy following 3 ascending dose of bbc1501 in namd patient.
